How It Works
Who Qualifies for assistance with Driving Hope
Driving Hope is an all-volunteer organization with limited resources so we are currently only serving Knoxville, TN.
We are very thankful for the approved community partners found on this website under the Partners tab. These organizations refer families and individuals for transportation assistance from the clients participating in the organization’s programs. We view this as a collaborative effort. Driving Hope TN provides the vehicle resources, while our partners provide relational support, accountability, and continuity of care. We do not accept direct self-referrals.
This approach ensures:
- The referred person is already connected to supportive services
- There is accountability and ongoing case management
- The referral person demonstrates financial resources to maintain vehicle ownership
- The vehicle will support long-term stability goals for the referral person
We are grateful for the work that our referring partners do and ask that you contact only partners for which you qualify for their program. A quick search of their website should help you in the process. Please note that not all programs offered by the referring partners qualify for the 0 Down – 0% financing offered by Anchored Foundation.
If you have further questions, please contact us by email or phone number found on this website.
How We Work with Partners
Our community partners play a vital role in the process. Our Partners:
- Identify and refer qualified participants
- Provide background context and ongoing case management
- Support clients in preparing for the responsibilities of vehicle ownership
- Remain engaged after placement to encourage long-term success
We view this as a collaborative effort. Driving Hope TN provides the vehicle resource, while our partners provide relational support, accountability, and continuity of care.
